1. Were you able to successfully copy your files to the external hard drive as you noted? Do you have any other full or incremental backups of your system from prior to the install, like in Time Machine?

Once you’ve done that, here’s how to install, reinstall, or upgrade to El Capitan, step by step: Boot from your Recovery HD partition by restarting your Mac while holding down the Command+R keys. The OS X Utilities window appears. Select Reinstall OS X, and click Continue. The OS X El Capitan splash screen appears. Download: OS X El Capitan This downloads as a disk image named InstallMacOSX.dmg. On a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan, open the disk image and run the installer within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg. It installs an app named Install OS X El Capitan into your Applications folder.


2. What are you seeing when you try to reinstall from Recovery? Is it giving you an error, or is it just hanging/failing? If you are seeing an error, what does it say specifically?
